Default Thruxton BTCC Raceday 18/05/08

Well looks like im only the 2nd person to post images from the weekend.

Good racing, sun was a nightmare to start with and ruined alot of photos from the morning.

Got a low number of keepers from the day for some reason with alot being OOF, so got to have a check and see if its just the idiot behind the camera (which i suspect it is) or the gear.

Anyway, a few that i like.

C+C encouraged.

This photo i wish was just that last 5% sharper at the front. Need to work with it in PP a bit.



Gio had no luck at all at the weekend, would feel sorry for him if i wasnt gunning for Plato



This photo was overexposed, and i wish i had been shooting in RAW as i could have got it back slightly better.



One of the Motorbase Cars



Some close racing in the Clio's



Finally a nice sharp photo!



Ginetta



Carl Breeze, a driver i follow with interest, after having a meeting with a barrier about halfway through race.

Great shots! I'm envious of the racing you folks get on the 'other side' of the pond.

Very good shots. Excellent VXR and clio 99. In fact the second clio shot is very ordinary by comparison and could have been left out. I prefer to see Jordan's car with some blown whites (afterall it was a sunny day) than Bell's BMW which looks underexposed and dull. Well done.

Thank you all, especially considering how disappointed i was in the general keeper rate for the day. Ive checked the kit, just pilot error i think.

The kit was a 40d with a sigma 100-300 f4
